1997 hyundai lantra problem loosing all power

Sounds like you have a issue with the starter .

problem would seem to be in the running of engine ,when was it last serviced ,old plugs , air filter etc will affect engine idle speed which is why its stalling when dipping clutch

Check the fuse. Also make sure your dimmer for the dash lights does is not turned all the way down. If all that checks out, your dimmer may be need replaced.

Throttle position sensor, check that, or fuel pump/filter

You need to get you alternator tested, it sounds like the current output is too low.

I was having the same problem with my 85 Ramcharger until my alternator went out. After I replaced it the stalling seemed to stop. Other things I noticed that resolved were dimming headlights and dash lights, the radio shutting off periodically when I drove and hard bumps causing the truck to stall. I hope this helps.

check to see if you have seperate fuses for each headlight. Some cars do I have seen a blown fuse make a headlight dim. If not check the wiring harness that goes to that headlight to see if any of the ground wires from that harness to body ground has lost contact, Hope this helps, Leave comment.
